I came up with yogurt balls when I first got WeiPea in an attempt to get probiotics in him. I have no set measurements. I just take yogurt (the good kind with the good stuff in it!), add oats, brewers yeast, honey, boiled egg yolk, slow-cook grits, cream of wheat, all-purpose yellow cornmeal, mix it all together and form into pea size balls. Sometimes I add purred peas, and carrots. If my mixture is to wet, I'll roll the balls in ground dog food or bread crumbs. I started off making really small batches,(no spoilage) but I've bumped it up some because the dogs love them too! It's a good treat for Zoe after she gets her insulin shots. I'm experimenting with home-made butters (peanut, pecan and sunflower heart) in place of the yogurt now. I'm always a "mad scientist" in the kitchen!WeiPea likes them a lot! I think it is because when he was learning to eat, he just thought it was some crazy kind of pea!

P.S.Thanks for asking M. and if anyone sees something I shouln't be adding PLEASE tell me. I was really just winging it

I know I think that Naunnie can start selling this stuff...market it as gourmet Pijy Food.I have to say I would love to be a pigeon in her house...it sounds like there is one pigeon out there that is getting to taste a lot more than the average bird!!

Way to go Naunnie...you are so creative!

Chef Naunnie, Chef to the Animals! !!

Robin, did you try the same "new" treat a couple of times subsequently? I have realized that pijjies are veeeeeery conservative if they don't know a new dish. F.e. besides Pete and Emma, no-one wanted to touch the choped peanuts - they "wrinkled" their nose (if they had one) at those thingies but now they are all crazy for it!
